We quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive … database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the average impact of GATT …/WTO membership on trade among member counties is large, positive, and significant. We contribute to the literature by estimating …

Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 … countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the average impact of GATT/WTO membership on trade among member counties is … for non-member countries. We show that countries not experiencing positive trade effects from joining GATT/WTO can still …

past free trade agreements (FTAs) as well as obtain ex ante predictions for the effects of future FTAs. We first identify … ante trade frictions. The effects of new FTAs are similarly weaker for pairs with existing agreements already in place. In … addition, we are able to relate asymmetries in FTA effects to each country's ability to influence the other's terms of trade …

The United States introduced Federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) as part of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act to … dampen the adverse impact of increased trade on workers. Applications to receive TAA require approval from the Department of …

The WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) has been predicted to bring about an expansion in trade flows and real … equilibrium modelling results. The main insight is that the TFA increased trade, in particular in agriculture, between developing … countries that made commitments. General equilibrium estimations indicate that agricultural trade increases by 5% worldwide …
